By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the first of two 12-piece exhibitions of works by American  painter Diane Young (born 1954 in Kentucky, USA).
 

Diane Young was born in a small farming community in Waynesburg, Kentucky. As a child she loved to spend hours hiking the countryside. She can remember viewing scenes that stopped her in her tracks, observing the beauty which took her breath away.

Growing up, exposure to the arts was virtually nonexistent in her family life. Her first encounter with the arts was a visit to an art museum with her school. To her surprise, her heart leapt as she viewed the paintings. This was perhaps her first indication of a desire to paint.

In pursuit of this desire, her growth and development as a full-time artist came from natural ability, years of field observation and studying the masters. Her passion to produce fine art has become her most treasured gift.

Diane spends hours in the field observing nature and painting field studies. She strives to communicate the atmosphere, depth of scene and the essence of the place. Her goal is creating a painting that is believable without unnecessary details and taking the viewer into that very space. From these field studies, her studio work re-creates the sense of the outdoors by weaving in colors with the use of brush and heart. She recalls the feel of the land as she gives birth to the painting.

As Diane has said many times, "People live hectic lives. I hope my paintings can help them find peace as they get lost in the scene I have captured." 

Diane has participated in numerous one-woman shows throughout the United States. Her work has been juried in many national shows such as Oil Painters of America, Salon International, American Impressionist and American Women Artist to name a few.

Most important...she loves to paint.

Twelve Pieces by Contemporary Artist

                   Diane Young (Born 1954)

                        ARTIST'S STATEMENT

I have always been drawn to the beauty of landscapes. At a young age a beautiful scene would stop me in my tracks to drink in the place. My desire is to capture what I love on canvas--landscapes.

 

In making my art, I will spend hours observing nature. I will visit the same scene over and over, different times of day and even different seasons.

I am looking to find what I want to say about that place. Orchestrating the right elements will create the desired effect. When I find the desired effect, I will paint that beauty.

 

Light is so important to any landscape. The right light will alter what I see, creating a visual feeling of the scene. Whether the day is bright or overcast, a visual feeling is present. The visual feeling I often paint is peaceful and tranquil. I hope to share that with you!​
